A review by bweinberg
The Undercover Economist by Tim Harford
3.0
I’ve read 0 books on economics before this one so I have nothing to compare it to. I’d say Harford has scarcity power...
I learned a lot and 75% of the book was easily accessible and understood, I just didn’t enjoy reading most of it.
The best thing about the book was it’s ability to create nuance in America’s political conversation. When one party is talking about economics or the market, they rarely speak with the nuance of an economist. I got a lot of that from Harford and I’m appreciative of it.
I think this book could use a third edition and a more solid framework outlined to the reader at the beginning and end.
